Groucho Marx was born on this day in 1890.
He uttered one of my favorite dog-related sayings: "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it is too dark to read."

A wit remembered
On this day in 1893, Algonquin Round Table member Dorothy Parker was born in West Bend, N.J.
She was an animal lover and loved her dogs. Here's a link to a poem she wrote about one of them.
We'll forgive her for saying about Katharine Hepburn, after she returned to Broadway in "The Lake" after being in Hollywood, that "She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B."
It's a great line.

| Such glorious faith as fills your limpid eyes, Dear little friend of mine, I never knew. All-innocent are you, and yet all-wise. (For Heaven's sake, stop worrying that shoe!) |
